Enforcing Rights And Correcting Wrongs: Overcoming Gender Barriers In Legal Systems. This report uncovers barriers to equality in legal systems that restrict human rights along gender lines. It argues that the Asia-Pacific region has some extreme forms of discrimination and violence despite being one of the world’s most ‘inclusive’ and economically dynamic regions. The report proposes possible ways to redress legal discrimination for accelerating human development. It explores three strategic avenues for simultaneous action. One, fixing institutions – laws, legal practices and modes of access; two, changing attitudes of those who create, uphold, and use laws; and three, establishing ongoing assessments to reveal inequalities and monitor progress.
